Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Tech is the second largest weighting in my portfolio (at 20%). I have 3/4 of a position in PANW, with most of my initial investment out, and am up 474% on the remainder. I also own NVDA, AMD, APPL, FISV, MSFT and a few other small, high risk non-cyber security positions.

With the outage crisis this week with CRWDI decided to take advantage, understanding the potential overhang. I opened a position in 2 tranches; buying in the $256-$265 range.

My question: Now I have approximately 1.5 positions in the cybersecurity sub-sector. Would it make sense to sell off some or all of PANW, generate cash to create a full position in CRWD as it bounces along in the $250 range, or is the better move to stay with the two positions?

Q: I am up 140% on NVDA and 65% up on DRX ( DRX has lost some gains recently

I am looking to maximize gains for the next 2 years.

I am planning to sell half of my NVDA shares and all my DRX shares to buy MU and AVGO.

The thought is that I want to cash some gains from NVDA and DRX might not grow much after the recent insider sale.

Does this sound like a good plan? Or do you think that NVDS, AVGO and MU are in similar markets and would suffer once AI-hype dies down in the next 2 years?

Do you have other alternatives for a 2 year hold? I am buying with Canadian dollars. So stocks need to be listed on TSX or NEO.

Thanks

Q: Hi,

I know these are some of your favorite cyber security stocks. All of them have drifted down recently. Your uncanny call for FTNT's price of 59 has been reached AND breached!

What would be your new entry points fr these? Please feel free to add any other name if you feel it is warranted.

Q: What is your opinion on the use of CDR's (Canadian Deposit Receipts) for the purchase of US Stocks? Also, what type of accounts would be the most beneficial and be the most risk in the use of them, RRSP, TSFA, RESP, or non-registered accounts?
I've recently purchased Palo Alta, Visa and Adobe using CDR's and it seems to be a way of getting US exposure while avoiding the immediate approximate 30% currency exchange, while using a CAD hedging process.
If you are somewhat positive on CDR's, what other US stocks would be good considerations.

thanks,

Q: I held equal positions in Crwd Ftnt and Panw. Last week I trimmed 1/3 of my Crwd at 363 when it bounced up for a large gain. Crwd has dropped back a bit to the 320s. I am thinking of selling my Panw at a small gain and buying back my Crwd and adding to Ftnt.
What do you think of this plan? I appreciate all your good advice.
Thanks Peter

Q: Digital Currency

With the long-rumored conversion of US currency to digital format, and presumably Canadian followup, what types of companies will most profit from these changes and what specific recommendations do you have? Are there any overall structural changes to handling a portfolio that you suggest?
Thanks for your ongoing great service.

Q: Hi,
Would you have any concerns for CRWD's upcoming earnings report? Given that PANW got hit fairly hard after their recent earnings, I am wondering if we might see something similar on CRWD, and whether or not today's drop is a bit of a heads' up something is about the change? Any thoughts you can offer would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Dawn

Q: Hello Peter,

Sam Altman wants to raise $7T for AI chips in the future. He's looking to the UAE for investments. Thoughts, comments? Will this likely be a new private venture or is there a possibility that he may explore any current publicly traded firms to partner (in terms of funnelling cash into, etc.)?

Next, what are some names that could benefit from this current theme and or Sam and others from diving into the chip design, manufacturers, etc. What are your top names for years out in this space, and a few comments on each. Let's rock!

Finally, Cybersecurity and protection of critical infrastructure is and will be huge. Top names in this space, ranked in terms of future outperformance?

Q: I note that one can now buy PANW via a CDR in Canada. In looking at PANW today, after the 28% drop in SP on Wed, there are at least 2 US law firms soliciting clients for a possible suit. The company didn't have a great quarter so they got punished. Not a crime. Market fluctuation. Price was lofty. Are these potential suits just noise that most companies deal with from time to time, or is there cause for concern? Wanting to buy at the discounted price, but should perhaps look elsewhere.
